| Okay, so once again I've failed to update somethings on here. So as today is my last day at Gotee Records, I figured I would do a wrap up.
I can't really put this summer into a wrapped up perspective.... I prayed so long for this internship to happen, and for the first time I asked a whole lot of people for prayer as well. And God truly does grant us the desires of our hearts. I can still remember getting the email asking if I wanted an internship at Gotee. I haven't screamed like that in a while. :O)
This summer was exactly what I needed. The internship of my dreams, and a chance to live "on my own" after school ends. I ended finding a place to stay, making some really nice friends and survived without blowing my bank accounts for the future. I now know how much it will stink to buy and cook food on my own whenever I move out.
I got to learn the ins and outs of the CCM industry, and realized just how hard getting a job down here will be. Hopefully my connections will come in handy... I truly do feel God leading me here. Honestly, I never thought I'd get this internship... but He can do all things! I got to write for the newsletter, so I was able to beef up my resume as well.
My Uncle is also recovering quite well. He's got a 85% chance at recovery, and the Dr. even said he didn'tneed chemo. God has truly shown me the power of prayer in that entire situation.
Oddly enough, the highlight of this summer hasn't been the awesome experiences at work this summer, it's been the friends that have come to visit. I've been able to hang out with Merideth, Erica, Hupp and Eric this summer, and it blew my mind how much fun I had.
So in the end, getting a job determines where you live, but will be my friends, old and new that will shape life.
And Im so ready for school

| Guys, I just found out my Uncle has been diagnosed with cancer. He has a tumor they need to remove. This has all come at a very hard time for my family... and I would ask that you would lift up My Uncle Butch and Aunt Jo. Pray for healing, peace, and that they would look toward Him at this time. Pray that there spirits would stay strong, and that this burden wouldn't be heavy. | | |
| So... after Saturday's somewhat depressing update, things have definitely turned out for the better.
I went to a church I really like down here on Sunday... and enjoyed there Sunday school group for College aged people. They were all really sweet and they invited me out to lunch with them afterwards. They are defineitly a nice group of people... and totally different than I usually hang out with. For instance, they answer the phone "What up playa? Where you at?" They're a lot of fun. Im heading over to the Sunday school's leader's house on Wednesday night to hang out, so that will befun.
Also, I got to write a little bit for the newsletter yesterday, which was excting. It felt good to actually "work" and not just do data entry for a hours on end. I could see myself having a job like this. It was challenging.. and it felt good.
I'm really excited about the next couple of weeks. (Well what happens in a few weeks). My friend Erica is coming down here for her internship with United Methodist Communications, so it will be exciting to hang out with her and Hupp. And then the week after that, Eric is coming for a visit. I have no idea how long he'll be here but it will be awesome to see him.

| So, somehow I haven't had as much time as I planned lately and haven't updated at all lately.. sorry.
Well, the internship has gone pretty well at this point. So far Im doing a lot of data entry, tour dates, setting up a radio database, etc. I'm hoping to do some writing and actual design soon.
God is showing me some things about myself while I'm down here. I'm learning I need a job where I get to interact with people. I can't just sit at a desk and work at a computer for four hours. Also, I needed a shot of humility. I came in expecting to do all these fun things... and I daily need to be reminded.. you are at the bottom of the ladder here.
Be happy making your spreadsheets... you're still furthering the kingdom, even if it isn't as fun as you want it to be. It's been a prayer almost every morning.
It's also hard because I didn't end up finding a job, and I know almost no one down here. God is showing me that I need to remember to lean on him and trust in his promises, but sometimes it's hard. I know I'm where I'm supposed to be, but I never imagined it would feel like this... ...
i've considered panking it up and heading up to wilmore for a weekend... but then I really don't know if it'd be worth it.
keep me in your prayers. | | |
| so. day three of the internship has eclipsed me. I spent most of Monday tracking the invoice numbers to make sure i got them right. it's a tricky system, and if i'm a little bit off, things could go haywire. thankfully, my boss had already gone through and done the numbers for me, I was just writing my assumptions down, and then double checking the numbers. i made a few mistakes, but hopefully catching on. oh yeah, and on monday.. toby stopped by. as i was running down the stairs from my second floor "workstation" to grab my free Gotee t-shirt, I glanced up into Condo's office because someone was playing guitar. The person stopped and said hi... I said hi back, and then continued on down the stairs. Yeah... it was Tobymac. He was around a little more when I was working up front on mailing stuff, and I had to not be really excited that he was there. (or as Hupp put it when I called her.. "you sounded like a stalker." then all of today was spent updating the web-sites with artists tour dates. Yep, you go to gotee.com-- that's all me. I'm applying for some freelance graphic work in the area. I'm praying something works out. | | |
